Wet and windy autumnal weather is on the way after what is likely to be the hottest summer on record fizzles out.
Blustery showers will dominate the coming week, and could even develop into prolonged, heavy rainfall, the Met Office said.
The forecaster has said this summer has 'almost certainly' been the UK's warmest as the mean average temperature for the season stood at 16.13C, based on data up to August 28.
If this season is confirmed as setting a new high for average temperature, it will mean all of the UK's top five warmest summers will have occurred since the year 2000.
The top five are currently 2018 (15.76C), 2006 (15.75C), 2003 (15.74C), 2022 (15.71C) and 1976 (15.70C).
